Is this kernel parameter in XENIX or SCO UNIX ? I have SCO Opendesktop.
The kernel parameters available under "configure" for entry 6 
(Multiscreens) are:

NSCRN: Multiscreens
NSPTTYS: Number of psuedo-ttys on system
SCRNMEM: Number of 1024 byte blocks for save screens

Nothing about screen blanking.
